keyMate vs graphMate?

OK, I just bought "keyMate" in the FlashGrab sale. Cool! However, after downloading it I found that I already had a storage folder for "keyMate" in my archives. But don't think I had the executables, just the advertisement. I think what happened was that in 2012 I bought "graphMate" on sale and that was before I trusted Studio4 enough to use it and also discovered that "graphMate" was an add-on to "keyMate" that I didn't have and it wasn't on sale. So, the purchase of "graphMate" languished in my archives for three years waiting for the right time and enough money to get "keyMate".

Now, I have just purchased "keyMate" and rediscovered my 3 year old purchase of "graphMate". Thinking that it would probably be prudent to download the latest version of "graphMate" I went to my "Product Library" and found the record of my purchase of "graphMate" and attempted to download the latest executables. Unfortunately, I get a "Page not Found" error for any of the downloads of that product.

Is "graphMate" now an obsolete product? Will my old copy of "graphMate" work with the new version of "keyMate"? Do I dare try it? Do I need to try it?

Arghhhh..... help!

    These are standalone plugins. None is an add-on to the other.

    The version numbers are 1.0.0.0 and 1.0.0.5 - I would not expect any major change since introduction in 2012.

    As both plugins come without a single line of documentation it's hard to figure out how they work at all :(

    Thanks for the link, I just picked this up too. Nice list of features there. It says nothing about installing it or where it is? It's not in my window panes, animate 2 looks the same and the timeline looks the same, it must be somewhere?!

    I received download for two versions 32-bit and 64-bit (PC) I installed both. I normally run just my 64-bit version of DAZ Studio4.7.
    I let the keyMate installer install to the standard default places for 32-bit or 64-bit software respectively. Should work OK as long as your DAZ Studio is also installed to standard default locations.

    In your DAZ "My Account" page at the website there is a "Serial Numbers" link and in there you should find the license key for "keyMate". Copy that key and paste it into the "DAZ Studio-->Help_About_Installed_Plugins" field line for keyMate.

    After it is licensed, restart your DAZ Studio (may not be necessary but couldn't hurt) then in your "DAZ Studio-->Windows-->Panes" list you should have an entry for keyMate. Clicking it makes the keyMate dialog window pop up. If it is not already anchored, drag the tab to a place to anchor it. I put it in my timeline along the bottom of the screen.
